The Hedonistic Pleasureseeker

Remind me to thank Scorpio for relieving my PMDD bitchiness this evening! What a guy. Still, the blogosphere is gonna get my rant tonight because that’s just the mood I’m in, so deal.

Hey, wanna get your mind blown? That’s the spirit!

Below are two of the cards from a role playing game developed by Steve Jackson in 1995. It’s sales prompted a surprise visit from the Secret Service, but Mr. Jackson was found to be “clean” of any intent to harm. CondoLIESalot Rice must not be a gamer, because otherwise she would never have said “Who would have thought . . . blah blah blah . . . into the World Trade Center towers?” Lots of people, Condi, and you even got the memo, bitch.

But there is more!

Senator Karen S. Johnson (R-Arizona) is the first Congresscritter (that I’m aware of at least) to loudly and publically call out the Administration on its lies about the events of September 11, 2001.

No, Dr. Paul and Dennis Kucinich are not the first Troofers! They’ve pretty much kept their mouths shut. However, this grandmotherly patriot just won’t shut up, and it’s causing quite the tizzy in the more aware political circles. The Phoenix East Valley Tribune posted her followup editorial on May 2:

“A recent letter to the editor asked for evidence of my claims regarding the tragedy of 9/11. Below I present some points that are presently known. I won’t be able to convince anyone who doesn’t want to be convinced, but for those who are willing to deal with factual evidence, consider the following . . .”

But Karen does not win the HPS Quote of the Day award; this commenter, “firebrand,” has stolen the Gold medal out from under her:

9/11 COVER-UP for DUMMIES

Interesting that it’s always the so-called 9/11 Truther Movement that has bothered to look at the evidence and support their suspicions with well-grounded fact and not propagandist superstition.

What I like to call the 9/11 LIAR movement constantly tries to label anyone that has evidence to disagree with the bankrupt official Washington conspiracy theory a “conspiracy theorist”. This when the official conspiracy tale has CIA asset Osama Bin Laden (a.k.a. “Tim Osman”) and his hung over cave boys that supposedly pulling off 9/11 past a $40 billion dollar a year “intelligence” establishment.

By the way, 9/11 was one day after the Pentagon (under comptroller and Paul Wolfowitz neocon crony Dov Zakheim) was caught with $2.6 TRILLION dollars “missing” from the Pentagon’s budget. No need to guess where the “jetliner” that hit the Pentagon struck (the accounting department where records of the missing TRILLIONS were kept).

Then there’s FBI whistleblower Sibel Edmonds (under Washington gag order) that proved the FBI and U.S. Government knew 9/11 was coming at least 4 months before the day.

And then there was the vast (200 man plus) 9/11 Israeli spy operation that had dozens of Mossad agents embedded with so-called hijackers from Florida and California to New York. 9/11 Israeli spies that were caught in phony moving vans with maps, boxcutters and explosives residues. All were deported back to Israel with nary an investigation.

That’s called cover-up, deception and manipulation.

From Tonkin Gulf to CIA “Operation Gladio” brainwash and cover-up has been part of American history. A history that includes butcher Saddam groomed to power by CIA and British intelligence and maintained in Iraq from 1959 on until he became inconvenient enough to officially sucker to take Kuwait and be betrayed for Gulf War I. The same history that saw at least 20 democracies overthrown by corporate cartel ruled CIA intervention.

There is no way to overestimate the slackjaw stupidity and moral cowardice of an American public that believes and defends the wholesale 9/11 LIES foisted by a monopolist corporate crime run government.

Karen Johnson is what amounts to a patriot and American champion. To those that defend the 9/11 LIAR movement I say you are unworthy to live in the republic of the founders. A real democracy would have broken thru the criminal cover-up and brought down this snake pit government to restore it to some semblance of honor and decency among nations.

After the unchallenged blood money fraud of 9/11 “war on terror” the U.S. became a clear and present Fascist corporate crime state. This is the legacy the lies and liars have left us.

POISONING THE WELL

Poisoning the well - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Poisoning the well is a logical fallacy where adverse information about someone is pre-emptively presented to an audience, with the intention to produce a biased result. It is a special case of argumentum ad hominem. The term was first used with this sense by John Henry Newman in his work Apologia Pro Vita Sua.[1

For what it’s worth, I will be the first to acknowledge that the “911 Truth Movement” is full of crazies, crackpot theories and suspect reasoning. Some of these people are just plain nuts, while some of the 911 lunacy you see in the media is due to an intel psyop commonly called “Poisoning the Well.”

Well Poisoning was done to civil rights and anti-war movements back in the ’60s and ’70’s, and for years after the JFK murder. People who are hyper vigilant against Government lies and/or intrusion are still regarded as “kooks” and “scavengers” due to the nutter element that always seems to surface when investigators begin to get too close to the truth behind a Government coverup. I posit this is by design.

Poisoning the dissident well is easy enough for government agents to do: Simply infiltrate a social movement, use malicious gossip to turn members against each other, hijack the leadership positions, and then ensure the public comes to view the movement an annoyance or even a threat by acting like a bunch of total nutjobs with insane conspiracy theories.

“The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves.” - Lenin

As Chomsky explains in his essay “Domestic Terrorism: Notes on the State System of Oppression”, the 60’s and 70’s were replete with violent provocateur actions masterminded by the FBI.

“During these years, FBI provocateurs repeatedly urged and initiated violent acts, including forceful disruption of meetings and demonstrations on and off university campuses, attacks on police, bombings, and so on. Meanwhile, government agencies financed, helped organize, and supplied arms to right-wing terrorist groups that carried out fire-bombings, burglaries, and shootings, all with the knowledge of the government agencies responsible 12—in most cases the FBI, although one right-wing terrorist in Chicago claims that his group was financed and directed in part by the CIA. 13

Suffice it to say that today any member of the 9/11 Truth Movement is treated like a tinfoil hatted weirdo by the general public. Discussions of the facts behind the 9/11 conspiracies are probably best avoided at cocktail parties. You might want to talk them over with your cat instead. That’s what I did, after all, mostly because my cats are the only ones in my life who want to listen to me bitch.

NEOCONNED

The existence of whacked out conspiracy theorists doesn’t make the Official Government Conspiracy Theory true. The U.S. Government has done NOTHING to defend its position from a scientific standpoint because it CAN’T. Instead, government agents and their NeoCon stooges attack the dissenters.

Straw man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The straw man fallacy is a rhetorical technique (also classified as a logical fallacy) based on misrepresentation of an opponent’s position; deriving from the use of straw men in combat training.

The Popular Mechanics “debunking” article is a farce, filled with biased and straw man arguments, meaning the author handily takes down arguments that even 9/11 truthers dismiss as faulty.

The so-called “science” behind the justification for the Official Government Conspiracy Theory is credited to a cousin of Michael Cherthoff (our modern day Himmler in charge of Homeland Security). Yes, I just engaged in an ad hominem attack, guilt by association, so shame on me! This is proof of how both sides of the argument are not above playing dirty. For all I know Cherthoff’s cousin might be completely unconnected to the 9/11 coverup. For all I know the man pisses rainbows and is fundamentally incapable of lying.

Still, I have my suspicions of the motives behind the issuance of the Popular Mechanics article: Popular Mechanics is published by Hearst Publications, the inventors of yellow journalism so I think it’s fair that we consider the source. These ARE the elites reassuring you that there is no point to checking out the man behind the curtain. “Move along, nothing to see here.”

There is more to the Troofer arsenal than logical fallacy. The “science” behind every claim the Popular Mechanics article that formed the basis of the book has thoroughly debunked, point by point, by Dr. Griffin, a Ph.D. theologian and logician, even before the 911 Myths’ publishing date! That’s right: The book debunking the debunking came out before the actual debunking! Wrap your brain around that!

Dr. Griffin has probably written more than anyone about the events of 9/11. He is a very careful scholar and takes a methodical approach to his subject. He knows his logic. Unlike the Hedonistic Pleasureseeker Dr. Griffin avoids logical fallacies in his reasoning. While reading his book you will find no wild speculation, no unsupported assertions. Every thing he writes is backed up by documentation including sixty pages of footnotes.

The men behind the Popular Mechanics article/book have declined offers to discuss the events of 9/11 with Dr. Griffin in public, which says a lot, mmm? Whose argument do you think could hold up in a public debate. Come to think of it, WHY HAS THERE BEEN NO PUBLIC DEBATE?

My own opinion is that the NeoCONS are more likely to be lying than hundreds of competent pilots, engineers and architects, professors, military experts, and others. “No Planes” Theories? Oh I have NO idea; I am not an aerospace engineer, but given the nature of Dov Zackheim’s business dealings (remote controlled large jetliners, so who’s the tinfoil hatter, again? DUH!!!) ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! NeoCons have built an Orwellian world of reversals, and all who enter it are justifiably confused. Even so-called “alternative” media reports on the failure of the U.S. government to adequately support its assertions generally do a shitty job of reporting the facts. Meanwhile, the worldwide diplomatic community agrees that 9/11/01 attack on the the Pentagon and the THREE (hello) World Trade Center Towers was conceived in intelligence circles and blamed on a handful of Arab patsies. The drugged-up, overfed and quite duped United States of America has been living a lie for the last seven years, seven years being the “half-life” of a typical government coverup. Isn’t it time American citizens learned the truth, whatever it is, however awful it’s implications?

Obviously I have taken the RED PILL. I understand how some of you might not want to know the truth. I get it. I suppose that’s what the blue pills are for, and I don’t blame you, but I still want to scream like this guy at FKN News. I probably just need to take a breath or two . . . OK twelve . . . and wait for the rest of the world to catch up. My friends, just remember: HPS was a Troofer before it was cool.
